Enemy Warship Spotted!

Stevepine · 03-08-10, 01:27 PM

I would love the re introdcution of the old SH3 style window that warned you when ever a warship was sighted on the horizon.

I have been in time compression a few times and time compression has not cancelled before I am within 30 meters of a British destroyer sending me to the depths.

and yet also..... in contrast....

My crew seem to sometimes have terminator style zoomable vision and be able to see ships that arent there yet!

Anyone else have these problems?

Yeah I always am really careful to take off travel mode

Yeah I think this is a universal problem. I hate that it takes you down to x8 instead of x1 when something is spotted. A lot can happen in x8 while you are figuring out what the hell is going on.

Also driving me nuts when watch crew spot ships that are 20+ km away but other times don't spot them at all.

Go in MyDocuments\SH5\Data\cfg
open main.cfg with an editor and change EnemyDetected=8,64 to EnemyDetected=1,32

OK great, changed that........ So what effect will that have ? Im guessing when a ship is detected I will slow down to 1 x speed now ....not 8?

if so.....

and thanks a lot!!

Or you can set it to EnemyDetected=1
It will then use that number for dropping the compression for both standard and travel mode.

Don't forget to set it to that for detecting planes aswell if you decide to use the Plane Attack mod... they'll get you if you stay in time compression.

Yup, I was at 1024 going home when all of a sudden, it goes to a cut scene. I thought it was a cut scene, it was a very nice movie of me being ran over by a DD. I died..that is why I'm hear, and not playing.

Oh, and I never use travel mode, so what gives ?
